Common use of Learning, teaching and training activities Clause in Contracts

Learning, teaching and training activities. (a) Calculation of the grant amount: the grant amount takes the form of a unit contribution towards the travel, individual support and linguistic support. It is calculated as follows: Travel: the grant amount is calculated by multiplying the number of participants by the unit contribution applicable to the distance band for the travel as specified in Annex IV of the Agreement; for the establishment of the distance band applicable, the beneficiaries must use the on-line distance calculator available on the Commission's website at xxxx://xx.xxxxxx.xx/programmes/erasmus-plus/tools/distance_en.htm. Top-up for expensive domestic travel costs: the grant amount is calculated by multiplying the number of expensive domestic return trips undertaken by the participants, including accompanying persons, by the unit contribution applicable to the “top-up for expensive domestic travel costs”, as specified in Annex IV of the Agreement. The top-up for expensive domestic travel may be requested only for travel itineraries within Programme Countries. Individual support: the grant amount is calculated by multiplying the number of days/months per participant, including accompanying persons staying up to 60 days, by the unit contribution applicable per day/month for the type of participant and for the receiving country concerned, as specified in Annex IV of the Agreement. In the case of incomplete months for activities exceeding 2 months, the grant amount is calculated by multiplying the number of days of the incomplete month by 1/30 of the unit contribution per month. If necessary, the beneficiary may add one day for travel directly before the first day of the activity abroad and one day for travel directly following the last day of the activity abroad; these extra days for travel will be considered for the calculation of the individual support. Linguistic support: the grant amount is calculated by multiplying the total number of participants receiving linguistic support by the unit contribution applicable, as specified in Annex IV of the Agreement. Support to participants in Learning, teaching and training activities taking place in their own country is eligible, provided that the activities involve participants from beneficiary organisations from at least two different Programme Countries and that the distance between the place of departure and place of arrival as specified above is at least 10 km following the online distance band calculator. (b) In all cases, the beneficiaries must be able to demonstrate the formal link with the persons participating in Transnational training, teaching or learning activities, whether they are involved in the Project as staff (either on a professional or a voluntary basis) or as learners. Triggering event: Travel and top-up for expensive domestic travel costs: the event that conditions the entitlement to the grant is that the participant has actually undertaken the activity. The eligibility of the grant for the top-up for expensive domestic travel will be conditional on the National Agency accepting the justification provided. The National Agency must make the assessment of the justification based on theinformation provided by the beneficiary and on publicly available information relating to the same travel route. The eligibility must be established based on typical price for the route and the period in which the travel was undertaken.
